Aviation hardware encompasses all physical hardware used in the construction of an aircraft, from aerostructure components to interior cabin components. Aviation hardware also acts as a catch-all for the vast collection of miscellaneous components and assemblies integrated in manufacture and repair of an aircraft including rivets, slip rings, bolts, nuts, screws, washers, valves, wires, and more. These types of hardware must meet certain criteria to allow an aircraft to be determined airworthy.
Interior hardware refers to any structural hardware components used in the cabin and interior of an aircraft. Interior elements include aircraft seats, seat tracks, decals, and seatbelts. Exterior hardware includes all of the parts used on the airframe including components needed for doors, windows, and sealing. Miscellaneous hardware for the exterior of an aircraft includes items such as strip seals, de-icing boots, window frames, access doors, etc.
We, at NSN Axis, owned and operated by ASAP Semiconductor, offer aircraft hardware components and assemblies from top manufacturers including the following: The Boeing Company, Airbus Industries, Cessna, Honeywell, SAFRAN, EATON Aerospace Ltd., Alcoa Fastening Systems, Raytheon, Belden, HellermannTyton, and more.
Rivets
An aircraft that is flying at 575 mph at a height of 35,000 feet experiences noteworthy weight on its joints. Bolted joints are more grounded and more strong than welded ones. A bolt can interface two segments from within taking into consideration a protected fit, while welded joints associate outwardly.
Rivets are almost difficult to open without the best possible devices; you don't need to stress over them shaking free. Flush Rivets are streamlined since they can be built flush against the fuselage; screws and fasteners normally project. Rivets are little in size, however they represent an enormous piece of air ship producing.
Slip Rings
A slip ring is an electrical connector component that is designed to carry a current from a wire into a rotating device. It can be used in any electromechanical system that requires rotation while it transmits power. Slip rings can simplify system operations, eliminate the need for freestanding wires, and improve overall mechanical performance.
The composition of slip ring hardware consists of a graphite or metal contact brush which moves on the outside diameter of a rotating ring. As the ring turns, the electric current is conducted through the brush to the metal ring, establishing a connection. Slip rings typically operate with multiple rings that provide an even distribution and flow of electrical current to multiple portions of the device. The wires from the immobilized structure loop around the compartment which houses the electricity conducting rings. Power can be supplied to the slip ring by connecting wires to the brush wire, through the brush block. The electricity transfers from the brush wires to the metal rings, then makes its way to the outside slip ring, and ultimately ends up at the device.
Slip rings are used for power, electrical generators, alternators, ethernet signal transmission, proximity switches, and many other functions. They are available in a wide array of configurations, types, and materials to fit most applications. For low current signal circuits, gold on gold slip rings are recommended. In cases of higher current power circuits, silver on silver slip rings work best. Slip rings are often integrated into rotary unions and send power/data to and from rotating machinery with a single device.
Valves
Valves serve a wide array of functions ranging from regulating the flow of liquids to assisting in the operation of hydraulic lifts. However, one type of valve seems to appear more frequently than others, and that is the gate valve.
A gate valve has two variations: a rising stem and a non-rising stem. Rising stem gate valves are typically made from cast or forged steel. Its modus operandi is simplistic in that the round handle rotates a threaded shaft which is attached to its centerfold. The stem will rise as it opens the valve followed by a descent as it closes the valve. One can spot if the valve is opened or closed by observing the amount of stem that appears. A flush stem correlates to a closed valve while an exposed stem means it’s open.
The non-rising gate valve is intended to function in tight spaces, abandoning the rising stem mechanism of its counterpart. This module utilizes a rotating wheel, or handle, that turns either left or right corresponding to its opened and closed positions. When the handle is turned towards the left the valve is opened. When it’s turned towards the right it reflects a closed position. In both cases the handle is flush with the pipe as the operating processes inside are able to open and close the valve without the need to raise the stem.
